Following one weird conversation on the “I am not a flower pot” thread about the nutritional benefits of kdramas, I decided to start this ‘if this kdrama were an ice-cream flavor it would be…’ thread.
I’ll go first with my current favorite: if Encounter were an ice-cream it would be burnt-honey: the base is a traditional vanilla custard that makes it comfortable and familiar, but then come sophisticated floral and caramel notes from the honey, leaving you with a sensation of magic and wonder. A new staple in my kdrama (and RL) fridge.
I’m gonna cheat a bit because it’s not ice cream, but is a an icy “treat”
The Undateables is like a Bomb Pop. The bright colors and bold design lure you into thinking you will have a refreshing treat but then it turns out to be too hard and flavorless. You might still eat it, because it’s not offensively bad, but you won’t really enjoy it, and minutes after you’re done it’s completely forgetten.
Peanut butter ice cream. Where you think it’s going to be salty and crunchy but in fact it’s smooth and sweet and they snuck chocolate swirl in there too.
I can’t help thinking MotA is like an upmarket Vanilla Bean Ice cream made with real vanilla pods and branded with Maggie Bear or someone famous like that. A fancy, ornate label and it’s twice the price of other ice creams. But when you take a bite, you realise it really is just f’ing vanilla.
In the name of my new year resolution of trying more new things, I just had a scoop of durian-banana ice-cream. It’s funky and at the very beginning it feels interesting and new; unfortunately, the more you eat it, the weirder it gets; also dull and kind of unpleasant. I think it may fit MoA to a T.
Feel Good to Die is ice cream that doesn’t exist.
Or maybe ice cream that shouldn’t exist. Like brussel sprout ice cream. That is actually not real ice cream. But vegan ice cream that tastes like brussel sprouts. Raw. (TM LS).
Because I just mentioned Pretty Noona Who Brought me Disappointment, I will desiginate an icecream for that drama.
Black Walnut.
Off brand, with rancid nuts, and was somehow left out in the sun to melt and someone put it in the freezer knowing that no one would know the difference until they got home.
You buy it and reach for it thinking something simple and tasty. And you open it up, it looks a bit—wrong? Theres freezer burn around the lid, but what the HEY its ice cream! Nuts, ice, cream. It’ll be delicious! And then you bite into a nut that has turned. A nut that has no business being in anyones ice cream. A nut that should have been thrown the f’ out but somehow got made into ice cream anyway. And there’s a used condom in there because whytf not?
So now, you have no ice cream–and you were really looking forward to that ice cream–and you want to punch everyone in the f’ing eye. But thats not who you are. (and really you dont know who to punch anyway). And you find yourself thining about this ice cream months later–WHERE DID THAT F’ING CONDOM COME FROM? WHY WAS IT IN YOUR ICE CREAM? And you start conocting long-winded theories about the freezer burn, the condom, the rancid nuts.
You can’t prove any of the theories.
But somehow making them up make you feel slightly better.
But still. F that ice cream. F that off brand. F those nuts.
At least they gave you a condom.
You’re listening to “Stand by Your Man” as you try to decide what to do with the carton. Do you contact the company, march in to the store to see the manager and demand a refund, or do you quietly throw it out and pretend nothing happened?

Oooh, let me know if they add a little salt to the brownie because that will elevate it even more.

I am picking Rocky Road for MotA; not only is the footing treacherous, it includes everything, plus the kitchen sink

I was going to say Just Dance for Rocky Road.
